2.  Tidal Volume (TV): (know this) - total air moved with each breath  Normal breathing moves about 500 ml  Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV): deep breath  Amount of air that can be taken in forcibly over the tidal volume  Usually around 3,100 ml  Expiratory reserve volume (ERV):  Amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a tidal expiration  Approximately 1,200 ml © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

3.  Vital capacity (VC): (know this)  The total amount of exchangeable air  Vital capacity = TV + IRV + ERV  Avg. 4,800 ml in men; 3,100 ml in women  Residual volume: Air remaining in lung after expiration (about 1,200 ml)  Allows gas exchange between breaths;  keeps alveoli inflated  spirometer –measures respiratory capacities © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

5.  Oxygen Transport: (two methods) ◦ Most attaches to hemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin (HbO 2 ) ◦ small dissolved amount is carried in the plasma  Carbon dioxide: ◦ A small amount is carried in RBC bound to hemoglobin  Hemoglobin has different binding sites for CO2 ◦ Most is transported in plasma as bicarbonate ion (HCO 3 – )  Bicarbonate ion serves as a buffer © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

6.  In order for CO2 to leave the body, it must dissociate from its bicarbonate ion form ◦ 1. it moves into the RBC ◦ 2. it breaks apart and forms carbonic acid with the available Hydrogen ions in the cell ◦ 3. it breaks apart again to form H2O and CO2 gas ◦ 4. diffusion of the gas into the alveoli occurs ◦ HCO 3 − + H + H 2 CO 3 CO 2 + H 2 O

9.  Nerves: the phrenic and intercostal nerves ◦ Control diaphragm and external intercostals ◦ Receptors pick up on chemical composition of Oxygen and CO2 and make adjustments  Medulla: ◦ Sets breathing rate and depth of breathing ◦ Controls overinflation of alveoli  Stretch receptors in alveoli too  Pons—coordinates/smoothens respiratory rate © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

10. Chemical : – Increased levels of carbon dioxide causes: decreased or acidic pH of CSF an increase in rate and depth of breathing The body’s need to rid itself of CO 2 is the most important stimulus for breathing Acts directly on the medulla oblongata Changes in Oxygen are monitored by chemoreceptors in the aorta and carotid © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

11. Breathing control centers: Pons centers Medulla centers Afferent impulses to medulla Breathing control centers stimulated by: CO 2 increase in blood (acts directly on medulla centers by causing a drop in pH of CSF) Nerve impulse from O 2 sensor indicating O 2 decrease CSF in brain sinus O 2 sensor in aortic body of aortic arch Intercostal muscles Diaphragm Efferent nerve impulses from medulla trigger contraction of inspiratory muscles. Phrenic nerves Intercostal nerves

12. Physical factors/Emotional Factors – Increased body temperature/Exercise – Talking/Coughing – Fear, anger, excitement Conscious control: holding your breath Respiratory centers override this when oxygen gets too low and pH drops © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
